awakening.

have i shared this love with you lately ?
it's been a thought i've been dreaming about.
while on buses and trains. starring across windows on lamp posts and streets.
heading on from south to west; thinking to myself.. i think there's a lack of love in this world today.

so, let's find love. in the comfort of each other.
and possibly find love in the existence of strangers.

this empt.

imagine it being all a lie. a beautiful lie. a promise made forgotten. a promise emptied on fallacies.
and imagine that you didn't leave that tomb.
i wouldn't be writing this today, now.

this is as much a shit as i am, still you have loved me.
i will make you proud one day.

this april weather is marked with grey skies and rain.
it seems like the only thing that's real right now.

i think we tend to forget the part about loving justice and mercy after we walk out of that door of our homes.

to be

i have to admit that i have loved you more than myself sometimes.
and more than my brother
more than my sister.

and how truth strikes me to the bone.
i want to love more each day.

this time around, God. I want new eyes.
i want a fresh mind. to observe the things around me.
surrounded in new light.
i want these voices to cease. i want stillness, quiet and ease.

i want new light. i want to be blinded. i want to be refreshed. like being caught under the rain.
i want to be found on the hills and mountain top peaks.
to experience this moment's thrill.

i want to see and feel

little droplets of rain and the sounds you make on rooftops.
you remind me of the golden past.
how you remind me of this mixture of silver and wine.

how beautiful it would be to wake up to you.
into these sounds.
and drift back into sleep once again.
